Grace Family Camp last week was an absolute blast!! There was tension between staff, but as far as campers go, it was really great. To give you an idea, this is how busy I was.
8:30- be at breakfast (love this!)
9:00- work with Nursery
10:30- Staff Meeting
11:00- Crafts
12:30- Lunch
1:30- Crafts
2:30- Free Time Crafts
5:30- Supper
Dishes til... 8 or 9
Then a race to put of my math homework or taking care of the pottery or even night assignment!
It was crazy, but I like being busy. I'm excited to go back and have the ability to actually have a quiet time. My math homework and test, plus my final on Friday, took up all of my spare time.
This last weekend I got to let loose and have some fun. Katie talked Luke into asking the head of the horse area if we could take a few horses up to Look Out Point. It's on top of a bluff surrounding camp, and while I wasn't exactly pumped, it turned out to be a blast. Luke is one of the funniest people I've ever met! We goofed off and talked for almost 2 hours! After that Alison, Katie, Autumn and I went to The Skinny Dip for our traditional cheese ball stop. We got to chat and take pictures. It was much needed best friends time. I love those girls so much!! Those three are my best friends in the whole world (+Philippine) and I can never express how much they mean to me! |

The next day, Sunday, at 6 in the morning me and my family left for vacation!! We are currently in Wyoming in an absolutely beautiful cabin. We have a rented van that's a 2012 and has a DVD player, and this fantastic cabin, and the combination makes me feel like a rich person! No joke!! It took two days to get here, and our first night me and Val ended up getting our own room at the hotel because they screwed up what month we had booked it for for the price of one room. SCORE!! I went right to sleep. After staying up til 12:30 for night assignment, 12-ish for a math test, and then 1am finishing packing, you are going to be VERY tired!
Look at that mountain view!! The mountain you partially see on the right is Mount Teton, and we've been seeing it up close all day today. We took a ski lift this morning and took a trai along a cliff face. I posed in the Lion King pose on a rock face that looked like Pride Rock, and the entire time I'm walking around I'm singing the camp song, "My God is so big, so strong and so mighty. There's nothing my God can not do!" You can't look at mountains and valleys and not see God's artistic hand at work. They're incredible!! The Teton mountains are the youngest mountains in the Rockys at 9000 years old. It's so SO SO SO SO cool to 'live' in a valley where I can wake up and the first sight I see is the mountain out my window. MY GOD IS SO BIG!!! We are touring Yellowstone tomorrow, and then Thursday we're going horseback riding and white river rafting. Crazy fun!! Me and Val are having the most fun just telling Dad to pull over on random roads and let us take pictures. I wadded into a mountain stream and it was absolutely FREEZING! We are having such a great time. But I miss camp and I think my family is going to get sick of me talking about it! I got two more weeks of camp as soon as I get back from vacation, and then I have yet to talk to my family about staying for Family 4. It shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully tomorrow I'll let you know if we spot a bear!!
Cause we're going on a bear hunt!!!!!!!
